I just wasted one hour thinking: why shifting around the cars in D:SF?

Then it just came to me, they enabled feature that can be found in Driver and Driver 2 using cheats! Go to YouTube and its full of videos showing how you can take over the control of any car. I think they got the idea from some of these videos, but anyway when D:SF comes in, this feature will be very nice and great fit :)

I remember using the get out and get in car anytime cheat in Driver 2 when I was a kid. You could use it to get to hard to get places sometimes. Sorry I went off topic this discussion just reminds me of that.

Google Earth is cited as one of the inspirations.

I loved that program as a kid. When I get DSF i'm gonna compare the real SF to the DSF SF via Google Earth.

Prepare to be disappointed. They cut a HUGE chunk of suburban section out, including Marina Blvd(so much for tearing down it in a Charger like in TD2002)

You gotta remember they ran out of room for parked cars and trolleys too...

Yeah :(
Man, having streets with those sideways parking spaces would have been awesome.

Indeed. But it's understandable since this game is really pushing the limits of what can be done nowadays. They couldn't even have different license plates thats how much they're pushing it.

They're pushing it getting such a massive game to run at 60 FPS.
